tag(s): olympics (45), south america (80)

This site has been archived but you can still find fun facts while building excitement for FUTURE upcoming Olympic Games. Share one fact a day with students as you count down toward the beginning of the 2016 Summer Games, August 5 to 21, 2016. Use this information as a learning center and have students conduct research to learn more about the Olympic Games and Brazil. Transform learning by challenging students to create a daily annotated image including text boxes and related links using a tool such as Google Drawings, with information gathered from their research. Not familiar with Google Drawings? Watch an archived OK2Ask session to learn how to use it: OK2Ask Google Drawings. An alternative would be to have students create timelines (with music, photos, videos, and more) using Timeline JS, to show the training process of Olympic athletes. Create a quick poll (with no membership required) using SurveyRock, to find out how many students plan on watching the Olympics, guesses for the number of medals earned by your country, or their choice for potential host cities. Alternately, if your school starts after the Olympics are over, use these facts for a discussion of the Olympics. Create a quick poll (with no membership required) using SurveyRock, to find out how many students watched the Olympics. Those students could then share with their peers what they learned from the Rio Olympics using any of the tools suggested above.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
